Pick your poison though from Dozier or Crotts and you’ll find the same level of performance. It wasn’t specific to that knife, I just chose to use that knife that year.
I settled on these two in the end and I’m satisfied. I haven’t been looking for anything new for a few years now. Well, except for a larger filleting knife but that’s in the works now.
I finish mine at 25 microns on a DMT “fine” stone then a few (like two or three) light passes across a leather strop loaded with five micron diamond paste. I believe the relatively rough edge gives me higher cutting aggression then a finely polished edge. It’s still apexed properly and shaves like a razor but it’s not highly polished. I may amend that procedure with the S90v being as it’s got a finer steel matrix with smaller carbides but that will have to wait until I start hunting again and put it through a few animals. For D2 I still like the sharpening regime I’ve got and the performance it provides. |
